Chapter 113: The Great Fire
Time went back to five minutes ago, that is, five minutes after Jin Zhongming and Secretary Han had just left the school, five people and a dog naturally came to a very ordinary community café nearby. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"I haven't asked for the name of this young lady yet...... It's a bit eye-catching. As soon as he sat down, Secretary Han was polite as a matter of course.
Park Chulong ...... My girlfriend. Kim Jong-ming's answer was not dragged into the water. "I will make my debut this year, and I will ask Secretary Han to take care of it when the time comes. ”
"I see. Secretary Han was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at the girl with a slightly red face, as if she was about to write down this face. "I'll do my best when I get the chance. It's no wonder that I felt very close to the two of you along the way...... However, if this news spreads, I don't know how many girl fans will be heartbroken. ”
"Not necessarily. Jin Zhongming took his coffee and blew. "I'm an actor and I'm not an idol, and I rarely deal with fans on weekdays. Moreover...... I don't care. ”
"Yes. Secretary Han nodded, but immediately disappeared. To be honest, he didn't know how to say it at all, but as an inviter who kept saying that he wanted to do his best to be a landlord, he couldn't help but say it.
"What's that...... This is Baker, right?" Secretary Han looked around and decided to talk a few nonsense before getting down to business. "It's so well-known...... It is said that because of the two generations of Baker, the number of big white bear dogs in Korea is on the rise, and we in Gwangju are no exception. ”
"No matter what. Seeing the two children of the shopkeeper's family carefully but hopefully touching the hair on Baker's body, Jin Zhongming couldn't help but sigh. "The city is quite friendly to my dogs. ”
Secretary Han smiled bitterly: "Mr. Jin Zhongming's words are inevitably too sour. ”
"I'm just stating the facts. Jin Zhongming took a sip of coffee, although he didn't sleep all night, the coffee gave him a dull and tasteless feeling. "What happened to our crew in the past ten days, don't say that you and your Mayor Yin don't know about it. ”
"Indeed......" Secretary Han became serious. "But as I said, Mayor Yoon didn't have the facts and intentions to get involved, those people are actually connected by themselves, you are like the National Police Agency, the police officer in your script is easy to be found, in fact, the police officer who was in charge of the original case has now been promoted to Seoul, he knows ......"
"Are you exculpating him?" asked Kim rhetorically.
"It doesn't mean that. Secretary Han sighed. "I'm just excusing myself and Mayor Yin, we have nothing to do with these things. ”
"It doesn't make sense. Jin Zhongming frowned slightly.
"What do you mean?" Secretary Han was a little puzzled.
"Mayor Yoon is the mayor. Jin Zhongming glanced at the elegant man in front of him. "No matter what, he is the boss shared by these people, even if he just maintains an ambiguous attitude, then all the accounts must be taken out and counted on him...... As for who he should settle accounts with in case he suffers a loss, you, as his chief staff, should ask him to explain it himself, and there is no need to tell me. ”
Secretary Han's face was as usual, but his heart jumped suddenly, he knew. My worst fears finally came to me. In fact, the reason why he came here today was to think of this problem, that is, if Jin Zhongming really wants to make up his mind to find the field, I am afraid that he will not even be able to find the target, because those chaotic characters and clubs don't know who the head is.
In this case, Yin Zhuangxian and Lingguang will be high and low, one behind and one forward, both of which are the best targets......
"Actually...... The nature of the matter is really not as bad as you think, Mr. Kim Jong-ming. After thinking about it for a while, Secretary Han decided to persuade the other party from a different angle. "How can an entire city be hostile to a group of unrelated people because of something ten years ago?"
"yes. Jin Zhongming nodded, looking like he didn't eat oil and salt. "So only half the city is hostile to us. ”
Secretary Han: "......"
"Isn't that right?" Jin Zhongming stared into the other party's eyes and began to ask rhetorically. "As far as I know, only half of the cities have hurt those children in the past ten years, and the remaining half of the cities still maintain a sympathetic attitude, so now only half of the cities are hostile to those of us who come to lift the lid!"
"What kind of logic is this?" Secretary Han was angered by Jin Zhongming for a moment.
"It is human nature to hate those you have hurt. Jin Zhongming replied unceremoniously.
That's ridiculous. Secretary Han felt a little angry. "There's no logic at all. ”
These words were spoken by an ancient Roman statesman. Jin Zhongming said confrontingly. "He used these words to instigate the start of three Punic Wars in the Senate, and then he succeeded!"
Secretary Han was dumbfounded.
"Don't discuss logic with a history student. Jin Zhongming continued to sneer. "History is always better than fiction, and there will always be some big characters who will jump out and prove to you something absurd and illogical...... Truth. So ......"
"So what?"
"So I don't hate you people at all, because I expected it, but some people have a much lower bottom line than I thought. And then, it made me angry!"
"Mr. Jin Zhongming. Secretary Han took a deep breath. "Please forgive me for my gaffe just now, I definitely didn't come here today to quarrel with you......"
"I believe that. Jin Zhongming nodded dryly. "You should have come to me just to lower your profile and make peace, but everything about you is rooted in Gwangju, so when you hear me open my mouth and shut up and put the whole city in a low moral position, I will naturally be a little angry, which is also human nature. But...... Aside from the things that happened when the case first came out, how many business and political celebrities in Gwangju were involved in it because of regional issues in the following years? Half of the cities are hostile to us, are they all bad guys? Not to mention half of the city, even half of the community, and even half of the people in an underground community who you randomly select to come out, there must have been people who have done bad things...... In the end, it's just a difference of position!"
Mr. Jin Zhongming...... You finally admit that it's a matter of position!" Secretary Han immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "In that case, why do you have to work so hard for the lady surnamed Park?
"Do you want corn from the fire?" Jin Zhongming put down the coffee cup thoughtfully, but immediately shook his head. "What I just meant was that you people were standing opposite me because of my position, but I didn't say that I came to this troubled water because of my position...... Believe it or not...... I'm here to be the bottom line!"
Secretary Han grinned, he still didn't believe it: "There is no such noble person these days! At least as far as I know, you are not Mr. Jin Zhongming!"
"I didn't say how noble I was. Jin Zhongming turned his head to look outside the transparent glass wall, and there were several children who looked like middle school students traveling in groups were taking pictures of this place, and they should have found themselves or Sika when they were passing by here. "To be honest, Secretary Han, you're a good person, but there's no need for us to say anything before the movie is released...... Because you can't understand what I mean until you really see some power......"
“……”
Secretary Han opened his mouth, and then closed it again, he originally wanted to question the other party, why bother to go his own way? After all, he brought sincerity this time, and he had even thought about it, and he was willing to immediately make a decision on behalf of Yin Zhuangxian, and help Jin Zhongming gather all the people in the government so that they would no longer come out to make trouble. Then throw out the people of the Lingguang Society and let Jin Zhongming vent!
But...... The other party suddenly lost interest in talking to him, as if he showed himself when he went to the other party's house to persuade him half a year ago!
Even, at that time, what I asked was the sentence 'Why bother to go your own way', and when I think about it this way, it seems that things are really the same as they were then, and there is no chance of turning around.
Moreover, it has only been more than ten minutes, which is even shorter than the last time.
"Then I'll take my leave......" Secretary Han thought for a moment and stood up without any delay and stretched out a hand.
"Hey!" Jin Zhongming, who was staring at somewhere outside the window, also turned his head and held the other party's hand. "Hard work, Secretary Han, you ran for nothing...... Greetings Mayor Yin for me, I still like to make friends, and we will have a chance to talk again after this movie is released!"
"Good luck with your movie!" Until this point, Secretary Han has shown a good upbringing, Jin Zhongming said that he is a good person, several contacts, different positions, the other party can not only lower the posture and maintain a position, but also know how to advance and retreat.
This kind of person is really rare in a society like South Korea, where everything is wrong.
"I promise you. Kim also exercised restraint.
"Three young ladies...... I wish you all a Happy New Year as well. Before Secretary Han turned around, he didn't even forget to greet the three girls who had been bowing their heads and not saying a word.
And Jin Zhongming immediately sat back in place, and then held the coffee cup in his hand, staring at the other party motionlessly with a strange gaze.
Seeing Secretary Han push back the chair, pick up the briefcase, walk to the door again, pick up the coat, and then push open the glass door and come to the door, and instinctively look around, then instinctively take a few steps, and then ...... He suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance, and his expression became slightly dull and frightened for a moment - this expression was almost exactly the same as those middle school students who were holding their mobile phones and shooting something in the distance.
Secretary Han maintained such a strange posture for a few seconds, and then he looked back at Jin Zhongming with some dazedness and confusion, as if he wanted to ask something, and seemed to want to say something.
However, through a glass wall, Jin Zhongming didn't seem to notice him at all, just staring down at the coffee cup in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
Secretary Han only felt that his head was buzzing, and he couldn't think about what was going on for a while, he wanted to shout something loudly at Jin Zhongming, but he didn't know what to shout, and finally turned his head back with a dull face, and looked again at the black smoke column in the distance, which was not very strong, as if trying to sort out what was going on.
But suddenly, the mayor's secretary, who was still gentle and elegant just now, threw down his briefcase without hesitation, and then spread his legs and ran out! Jin Zhongming turned his head and glanced at the other party, but did not make any reaction, just beckoned the boss to order another cup of coffee, and continued to sit here.
It takes about five minutes to get from school to the café, but it takes less than two minutes for an adult to run the distance as hard as he can.
The school gate was open, and the black smoke was just a pile of debris composed of building panels and dilapidated tables and chairs in front of the teaching building, and the fire was not to the point of despair, at least in the eyes of the flustered Secretary Han, it was not to the point of hopelessness, because it was just black smoke that seemed very imposing, and the open flame was just the thickness of a bucket. So he hurriedly stepped forward, still taking off his coat, as if trying to put it out. But...... As soon as he took a few steps forward, the oncoming blazing temperature made the gentleman sober up!
Some of my booksellers are angry, ruthless, and it's too late to rely on my own strength!
The weather is dry and dry, and there is a hint of smoke, but more importantly, even Secretary Han knows that at this moment, the entire school is full of all kinds of flammable and explosive shooting equipment and props, and all of them are stacked with standard wooden boxes.
Secretary Han took a few steps back, and looked indifferently at a few people who looked like security personnel who were hurrying over, turned on the faucets and prepared to put out the fire, but as soon as the water came out of the water, he saw a tongue of fire licking directly onto a pile of wooden boxes with various numbers nearby......
Then, as the so-called out of control, the fire that seemed to be controllable to the naked eye just now was completely out of control, the fire and smoke engulfed everything, and from time to time there was even a clear explosion sound from the torches stacked in which boxes......
In a short time, the open space in front of what was supposed to be the safest school building was completely burned to the ground, and a giant torch was formed.
Several security personnel gave up those ridiculous faucets as a matter of course at this time, and dragged Secretary Han in a daze to retreat outside the school gate.
The flames were blazing, and the distance of dozens of meters was unbearable, and Secretary Han, who was dragged out of the school gate, had lost the ability to think at this time, but the sound of the fire siren that finally came from the distance still made him instinctively have a trace of hope and extravagant hope. Moreover, the fire trucks handled it very well after their arrival, under the command of a captain who seemed to be very experienced, the faucets of the first two fire trucks to arrive wisely crossed the front of the main school building in the middle that had not yet been ignited, with a clear goal, that is, to isolate the main building of the school, as long as the main school building was not burned, everything would be left behind.
But...... This confrontation between the fire snake and the water dragon ended in the defeat of the water dragon in less than three minutes. The water curtain created by the cross-water dragon was powerful, but the fire did not choose to break through from the front, but silently invaded a nearby three-story outbuilding under the cover of thick smoke, and then burned from that building to the side of the main building. In this way, the fire cleverly and successfully completed a sneak attack, rushing directly into the seven-story main school building from the flank!
The leader of the team continued to ask the team members in vain to point the faucets at the main building, but at the same time, he personally led the vast majority of the personnel to dig the fence around the school with the machinery that arrived in the second batch, which ...... is the wisest solution at this time.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the firefighters had even stopped using the water hose on the main building, but began to water and wet the edge of the courtyard wall around the school, and thanks to the school's unique independent environment and various powerful mechanical equipment, the barrier had been dug up to a full ten meters wide, and was poured with a layer of water, and it was still expanding in circles. At this time, in the isolation zone, the fire finally brought the entire school into its arms, and almost every building turned into a red hell of flames.
The surrounding people also began to gather at this time, not because they didn't dare to come to see the excitement, but because the fire burned so fast, many people only noticed the fire here when they heard the siren, but after rushing over, it had become like this.
Secretary Han sat at the school gate with his head hanging his head, his status as the mayor's secretary made him eligible to stay within the separation line! Of course, this was completely meaningless, because the matter was irreparable.
However, even so, Secretary Han couldn't help but raise his head from time to time, and then looked at the sea of fire in front of him with that scorching feeling. In particular, the main school building in the middle now attracted him like a monster with teeth and claws. For him, the black smoke above the building was like the body of a monster, changing wantonly but endlessly, the momentum that soared into the sky made people feel terrified, and the red windows and door frames below the building were like the eyes and sharp teeth of a monster, flipping wantonly, light and dark, making people feel frightened; in addition, the explosion sound that still came from time to time in the fire was like a strange roar from the throat of a monster, which made people's hearts beat; however, the most terrifying thing was still this temperature, which was still as overwhelming as the pressure of a monster even though it was so far away!
The fire burns very vigorously and burns very quickly, and the temperature and oxygen are naturally not lacking in this kind of fire, but the flammable materials in modern buildings are limited, and after the fire is burned, the open flame will naturally be transferred, which is the so-called overfire! Later, with the concentration of the main firefighting force in Gwangju City, more than a dozen water hoses that had exhausted all the nearby pipelines worked together to suppress all the black smoke and open flames.
From the beginning of the burning to the present, the fire actually only lasted about an hour, but Secretary Han felt as if half of his life had passed. And when the firefighters dragged the water hose and carried the firefighting equipment into the school and began to patrol back and forth in order to extinguish the dark fire, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
So, Secretary Han began to hold on to a broken tree on the side of the road that was as pitiful as himself and tried to stand up. In other words, this small tree planted in the green belt was first dried by the temperature of the flame, then cut off by a bulldozer, and finally sprinkled countless times by the water dragon, and now it is supported by Secretary Han...... Eventually, it couldn't hold it anymore, and with a creak, it broke apart again.
Secretary Han also fell again.
However, this time Secretary Han gave up standing, he just reached out and wiped his face, and then began to lean against the broken tree and began to gasp. In fact, he didn't notice another fact at all, that is, his face, which could be called white, was already full of gray dry spots under the action of the gray flying debris flying all over the sky before, and the continuous blazing temperature also made his sweat evaporate as soon as it came out, but thanks to the water droplets on the sapling, he wiped it like this, and his face immediately became a strong black oil paint landscape painting.
Of course, with his current mood, even if he knew, he probably wouldn't think too much.
After resting for a while and moving a few more steps, Secretary Han finally walked out of the muddy green belt, and then collapsed on the side of the road. However, someone immediately kindly pulled him up, made him sit firmly, and also kindly handed him a bottle of cold latte.
Secretary Han didn't have time to thank him, so he directly unscrewed the lid, and then poured it without any image, and after pouring it in one go, he finally felt as if he was alive, and then, as Yin Zhuangxian's most dedicated and outstanding staff, he immediately began to close his eyes and think about how to deal with the aftermath.
Jin Zhongming was so ruthless that he had already made the maximum estimate, but the result was still beyond his imagination. It is not known how much was burned by this fire, but is it okay that the whole school burned down? For the Gwangju city government, this incident itself is a huge loss. Moreover, such a big thing, at the end of the year, the local media in Gwangju will not arrive, and it is estimated that a large number of national media will soon surround it, so that the things done by the previous group of bastards are estimated to leak completely under the watchful eyes of powerful media such as the three major newspapers and five major websites.
What should we do in this case? It is necessary to make the necessary compromise to Kim Jong-ming, but on the other hand, should the government bear such a huge loss for no reason?
But what if he doesn't bear it? Will he ask Kim Jong-ming for money? Will he give it? It seems that he has lost a lot of money, will he have taken revenge on the Gwangju officialdom here with the intention of burning money from the beginning?
Why don't you expose him? Just say that he set fire to him and send him to court? Without talking about whether the other party will leave possible evidence, even if there is, will it be so simple to send such a ruthless person to the dock? Is it okay for the other party to have a 10,000 way to give himself a suspended sentence?
And more importantly, if he set the fire once today, he will dare to set it a second time tomorrow! It's not that he's cowardly, it's that he's really scared by this madman!
As soon as he thought of this, and then thought of the torment of the hour just now, Secretary Han couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he cried out in embarrassment on the spot.
But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Secretary Han's ears...... However, how to listen to the tone makes people feel chilled.
Secretary Han ...... You're too ruthless, aren't you? Are you going to warn me or do you want to kill people? I guess it's just a warning, or you wouldn't have called me out for coffee in the minutes before the fire started...... You said...... Am I supposed to get down on my knees and thank you for saving my life?"
Secretary Han, who had been scorching in the furnace for more than an hour before, was like falling into an ice cave at this moment. Only then did he realize that this little bastard was not finished yet?!
ps: There are also book friend group 457160898, everyone add it.
Finished at half-past nine...... Go to bed...... 6k, plus 4k in the early morning, can barely be regarded as paying off the day's account...... I don't know when I'll wake up tonight, I definitely have, but don't wait...... Thank you for your support in this situation. (To be continued.) )
